Cats and Kittens

Jennifer B asked:


I have three adult cats two kittens (fostering one) and 1 dog. The adult cats eat the kitten food, and the kittens eat the dog food, and the dog eats both adult and kitten food. How do I get them to eat the right types of food.

claire h asked:


Ive heard that using either baby rice with kitten milk, but what kind of meat should i use when weaning them?
This is my first litter of kittens so dont really know all the answers.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks

I have two 9 month old kittens who will be going off kitten food soon. I also have just taken in a stray, now 12 weeks old. Stanley, one of my older kittens, is already pretty big and I am worried than if he eats kitten food he will continue to get much bigger than he should. How do I keep the older cats from eating the kitten food that the little one needs?
They will all continue with kitten food until the oldest are a year old. I fear that Jasmine the oldest female will be jealous of the baby girl, Alix, being able to eat seperately. It has taken about three weeks to get Jasmine to accept Alix, Jasmine has just now allowed Alix on the bed to sleep at night.

dgrissmer asked:


I have 1 kitten who is 3 months old and one adult cat who is 5 years old. Since both cats need different kinds of food (kitten food which has nutrients found in a mother’s milk, and adult formula that has nutrients designed for older cats), I have two separate food bowls. One for the kitten and one for the older cat. The older cat steals food from the kittens bowl which is making her overweight, and the younger one is stealing food from the older cat’s food bowl. I’ve tried mixing some kitten food in with the adult food, but that hasn’t worked. I’ve tried putting the bowls in differnt spots in the house which also hasn’t worked. What would you suggest? Thanks.
